Series Introduction
JamPlay is proud to introduce jazz guitarist Peter Einhorn. In this lesson series, Peter will discuss and demonstrate a way of playing the guitar that differs from standard approaches to playing. By utilizing a partial capo on a guitar in standard tuning, his approach allows the follower to learn the guitar more like you would learn the white keys of the piano. Instead of his focus being driven by chordal arrangements and muscle memory, Peter presents a more melody-based playing style.

Notes and Solfeggio
In this lesson, Peter teaches the notes on the 1st string of the guitar as they correspond to the Solfeggio you likely learned in grade school. He explains how to play both "Mary Had A Little Lamb" and "Jingle Bells" with the help of your ears and Solfeggio. By singing the Solfege notes while playing, you'll engrain the pitch and notes into your memory.
Notes on the Second String
In the fourth lesson of his basic guitar series, Peter talks about the notes lower in pitch from "do" in Solfege. When the partial capo is attached at the 3rd fret on the first and second strings, these pitches correspond to the notes on the second string, which is lower in pitch than the first string.
Using More Fingers
In this lesson, Peter discusses and demonstrates why and how we should use the remaining fingers on our fretting hand. He also discusses positional playing on the fret board. He then applies these techniques to the song "The Water Is Wide."
